Brett Myers signs with the Houston Astros
by Scott Butler 1/9/10
Next season, for the first time in his life, Brett Myers will not be wearing Phillies pinstripes. Myers has reportedly reached a deal with the Houston Astros to pitch as a starter, pending a physical.
The 29-year-old righty played eight seasons with the Phils and compiled a 73-63 record with a 4.40 ERA in 240 games. A starter for most of those years, he was the closer for the Phillies in 2007 and on the mound to clinch the NL East crown.
I wonder if Ed Wade even lives in Houston, because he sure does take a lot of players from the Phillies. Myers and Feliz are the most recent, in addition to Chris Coste and the Lidge trade. It might just be a publicity stunt since the Phillies play at Houston during the first week of the regular season, April 9-11. That ought to be interesting.
